Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has proposed to give up power and leave Libya if the saftey of his family and him are guaranteed, the London-based Asharq Alawsat Newspaper reported. Also according to the report, Gaddafi demanded to be allowed to leave for any country he chooses, without future prosecution.

The opposition's Benghazi-based national council did not comment, but the newspaper asserted that the council's general policy is to reject negotiations with Gaddafi, no matter what. (Roee Nahmias)
